I’d like to extend a special thank you to all who participated in K12Translate’s recent Education Translation Trends Survey. We’ve tallied the results and I thought I’d share some of the highlights with our readers. Of course, you can download a free copy of the entire report here: Translation Trends Report
It may come as no surprise that communicating with and engaging limited English speaking students, parents and communities amidst shrinking budgets is the top concern for school districts in the 2010-2011 school year. Yet despite nearly half of the school districts reporting that limited budgets are their largest challenges in serving their ELL communities, 44 percent expect to see a decrease in the federal Title III funding that helps them serve these special populations.
Nearly 90 percent of districts reported that they regularly use the Internet for parent-student communications. However, despite nationally reported growth in social networking, only 12 percent of districts said they used sites such as Twitter and Facebook to build the home-school connection.
